Accommodation OF passengers.

There is always some important ques-
ton connected with railroad travel. For
long time it was the coupler that kept
inventors busy. Now it is the accommo-
dation of passengers, suggested by the
close competition. Leaving out the ques-
ton of sleeping cars, which are generally
in the hands Of private and separate cor
porations, the railroads to-day are seeking
chair that will free travellers who 60 a

remaining in the same position for hours.
That the present straight back double
bench is behind the times is conceded, but
the question Of q substitute has not been
settled, and railroads are making practi-
cal tests. There are many inventions to
meet the demand, and the improvement
in the ideas of chair travel has been Won
derful. It is but question Of time when
every first class passenger car will contain
reclining chairs that will adjust them
selves to suit the passengers comfort, and
there will be no advantages in riding in a
sleeping car.-E. N. Gilfllan in Globe

The Burmese have an exalted opinion Of

and social traditions, acquired from
earliest childhood and kept prominently
before them by the almost daily dramatical
performances which are conspicuous
